Progressive linear precoder design for MIMO ARQ retransmissions with channel estimation error by SHI Zhi-hua, ZHAO Chun-ming, YANG Yi-jin, ZHOU Peng

“…Progressive linear precoders were investigated for packet retransmissions in MIMO ARQ systems with channel estimation error,as part of cross-layer wireless network research thrust.As the first step,lower and upper bounds were de-rived for the capacity of MIMO ARQ systems in the presence of channel estimation error.From these bounds,it was seen that the capacity was limited by the channel estimation error at high SNRs.For mathematical simplicity,a set of suboptimal progressive linear precoders have been proposed for ARQ retransmissions with channel estimation error,by utilizing the lower bound.Simulation results illustrated that the proposed suboptimal preocders can obtain satisfying performance.…”

Dynamic pilot assignment in massive MIMO system based on user classification by Jinyan ZHANG, Feng JIN, Lixin YIN

“…Aiming at the problem of pilot contamination in massive MIMO system,a dynamic pilot assignment strategy based on user classification was proposed.The target cell user was divided into the central user and the edge user based on the variance of target cell user signal intensity.The central user used the maximum C/I algorithm to assign pilots to maximize the channel capacity of the central user.The edge user used greedy algorithm to assign pilots to improve the signal to interference and noise ratio of each edge user.Simulation results show that the proposed strategy can improve the channel capacity of the system while improving the signal to interference and noise ratio of the edge user.…”
